Apply a purposive interpretation: Regulation 6(6) is to be read as barring payments only in respect of persons who lived in the claimant's home immediately prior to the injury or who lived with the claimant at the time of the injury; it does not prohibit payment for persons who move into the claimant's home after the injury to provide necessary rehabilitation services; therefore appellant entitled to payment for live-in home-help and child-care provided by person who moved in after injury.
